At this time, Maner pulled back the curtain and walked in with a tray in her hand. Leng Wu subconsciously walked to her to protect her because he knew Qiu Shuihan, who looked weak in fact, was a skilled martial artist.
Two ordinary objects were placed on the tray Maner held. On the left was a piece of delicate embroidery, while on the right was the array map the scout took back that day.
"All generals and soldiers who have been to the rock gates know that the array is not fixed. It will only be activated when someone walks in. However, to draw this detailed map, one has to stand in a high position, which therefore makes the person unable to activate the rock gates. If so, how could one draw such a detailed map?" Qin Yunuan explained slowly.
Leng Changxi echoed, "So this map is forged. You have bought over that scout and asked him to bring back the map. I truly doubted him then. He indeed had been out for a long time, but how could a little-educ
It was sunny today. Leng Changxi stood on the stadium to count soldiers, among whom the Leng Army stood in front of soldiers in black armor. These 1,500 soldiers of the Leng Army had proven their good teamwork by boldly walking in the rock gates to deploy explosive packages as planned in a short time.This was one reason why the Leng Army stood in front of soldiers in black armor. Another reason was that the latter deliberately did so. Soldiers in front would face dangers first. Now that the Leng Army would like to take the lead, how would soldiers in black armor refuse?They had taken a three-day rest. Now they were going to fight with Sima Ray's army. Luguan was the key pass to Qi, so if they broke in, they would enter the central region in Qi, which was so close to Qi's capital city.Leng Changxi was in silver armor, and the red tassel around his neck flew with the wind. Qin Yunuan wore a piece of plain white clothes. She quietly stood behin
At midnight, only the moon and stars were awake, but they were covered by thick clouds, indicating a heavy rainfall tomorrow morning.It was quiet and peaceful in Leng Changxi's military camp. On the high wooden lookout tower in the woods in the west of the camp stood a cautious sentry. He looked ahead and seemed to have not noticed people in the woods.A group of people narrowly broke a path in the woods. At this dark night, they looked like ghosts.The leading person was a robust young man. Young as he was, he was the most skilled one, but also the best protected one. Sudden dizziness made him tremble and almost fall down."Your Royal Highness," said the guard near him who supported him at once, "Are you alright? They're just a mob of rebels. You don't have to lead the sneak attack in person. We can take care of this.""No." "Your Royal Highness" the guard talked to referred to Sima Ray who was wildly arrogant on the
For this sneak attack, Sima Ray took with him 1,500 soldiers, the same number of soldiers in the Leng Army. He had become paranoid about fighting against Leng Changxi. However, he lost the majority of them who attacked the military camp from three directions, with only dozens alive. This said a lot about how cruel and ruthless Leng Changxi was.What happened next was so rare. Chief commander of two armies should walk shoulder to shoulder on the narrow path in the woods. Leng Changxi, followed by Qin Yunuan, walked with his hands behind his back. Qiu Shuihan, whose hands were tied by a hemp rope, followed Sima Ray who looked back at her in disgust from time to time."How about killing her? I don't want to bring her back," Sima Ray said with his head upward and looked as if he now could still decide Qiu Shuihan's fate. He then recalled how fierce Qiu Shuihan was to stab him in his throat with the hairpin. If she knew Qiu Murong and his four disciples were dea
Chen Feng also followed Sima Ray only after his rebellion. Discreet and paranoid as Sima Ray was, usually he wouldn't trust any generals coming from outside. However, Chen Feng had been behaving well in the past year. For several times, he had risked his life during the fight, saving Sima Ray from danger, which made Sima Ray look at this humble little general with new eyes. However, now..."Your Royal Highness, although I'm not a nobleman of Qi, my family has been serving the army of Qi for generations, so we can be counted as a valiant family. Having borne shame beside you, I think it's time for me to work for Qi. Your Royal Highness, please hand over the great seal and give the order back to Qi," Chen Feng stood outside, saying plausible words, "After all, you're just a concubine's son. You are not qualified to inherit the imperial power.""I'm not qualified?" Sima Ray only felt that Chen Feng was obviously a fence-sitter, "Well, in the past, who had kill
Qin Yunuan didn't know how long she had slept. She only felt that her whole body was soft. Her mind was in a whirl as if she had had a long dream. In the dream, her mother was still alive. Having been pregnant for eight months, she was working hard with needlework under a little lampion."Mother, have a rest. I can help you with the needlework.""The more needlework I do, the more cloth I can buy to make more beautiful clothes for your little brother in my belly. Yunuan, you are still young. It's cold in the winter. Hurry to warm yourself in the quilt.""No. Mother, I want to learn to do needlework from you and make clothes for my little brother. Mother, please teach me."It was said that the Third Miss of the Qin Family was good at doing needlework. However, nobody knew that the old saying, "Children in poor families can become independent very early", was the true portrayal of Qin Yunuan's childhood.Nobody knew it u
Leng Changxi was a man of few words. However, speaking of Baili Ai, he had talked a lot about him to Qin Yunuan."He used to an orphan taken in by my master. He began to follow my master three days earlier than I did, so he became my senior fellow. Indeed, he learned so hard, but he lacked talent, so his progress was slow. However, he seemed to be more cunning than others. One day we needed to hand in an analysis of the five senses of human faces. It took me a long time to write a very satisfying article after researching many people's five senses. However, when it was time to hand in the article, I found that his article was exactly the same as mine. What's more, he had already communicated with our master. If I hadn't known about it in advance, then it would be me who plagiarized.""What happened then?" Qin Yunuan knew that Leng Changxi must not be taken advantage of by others since he could now mention it so easily."Then I rewrite a better
By hearing it, everyone knew immediately it was Mu Qingyu's voice. The generals and soldiers in the camps were all excited. Firstly, the reinforcement had come. Secondly, the best infanta in West Xia led the troop herself to help them. It was so inspiring.However, Qin Yunuan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She was walking at the end, and Maner was following by her side."Madam, you don't look well," Maner saw that Qin Yunuan frowned slightly and knew that Qin Yunuan was worrying about something, "Do you want to go back to have a rest?""I'm alright," Qin Yunuan turned her head and said in a low voice. Then she followed Leng Changxi and other people to greet the guest.The person coming here was definitely Infanta Mu Qingyu. She wore a soft hedgehog armor with a white dress as the base. Her dressing complemented her elegant, graceful temperament. Her hair was tied up into a high ponytail with a few strands of long braided
Mu Qingyu confidently looked at Qin Yunuan. The latter looked back fearlessly, tilted her head and said, "Your Highness threaten Changxi to marry you with 200,000 reinforcements. Are you that desperate to get married?"Mu Qingyu shook her head and put down the comb in her hand. "I have so many admirers, but sadly, I don't like any one of them. In comparison, I think Leng Changxi, who is handsome and talented, is my best choice. Besides, only I am good enough for such a wonderful man."Qin Yunuan smiled with disdain and said, "I didn't expect you should have such an idea in your mind. So, you just pretended to be tender and virtuous while we were in West Xia? You're really good at this."Then they heard some noise outside. Mu Qingyu raised her eyebrows and suddenly stood up. She whispered to Qin Yunuan, "But my show is not over yet. Ho, just wait and see."All of a sudden, Mu Qingyu pushed Qin Yunuan hard. Not expecting this, Qin Yu
